The internet is over 40 years old. Started in 1969 as the ARPANET, it was
commissioned by the U.S. Department of Defense's Advanced Research Project
Agency (ARPA) as a network for academic and military use. The first online
community the USENET, began 10 years later Over 800 million messages from that
early community are now archived in Google Groups. The first Web pages and
internet browsers appeared in1993 and that was the internet tipping point. This was
Web 1.0: organizations created content on Web pages and in email and users
consumed the content.
The unique properties and strengths of internet technologies provided a
springboard from the first to the second generation, Web 2.0.
Technology only opens the window of opportunity. Marketers and their
markets create hot new products that capitalize on Web 2.0 technologies. Web 2.0
also connect people with each other for producing and sharing content. Collectively
called social media, these are web pages allowing social networking and are
primarily authored by internet users. Social media sites are increasing in number and
attracting users more quickly than are traditional media sites. This creates
opportunities and challenges for marketers, some of which are outlined in this
master thesis.
